Just now.

Wedge!

With a sharp sound. The dagger flew through the air and dug into the neck of a wolf-like monster.

The monster, which was already covered in wounds, trembled, gushing out red blood. dump. It fell to the side with a heavy sound and never moved again.

“It’s much better than when you shoot a gun.”

Unlike me. Chae Seo-ah spoke without even breathing heavily. but. It would have been even more strange if, with that skill and the seeding buff, he had only struggled at the D-class gate.

Once you have a chance to move your body properly. They quickly adapted to the seeding buff.

As a result, the clan members’ practice ended in less than an hour. My main goal now was to become a little more comfortable with fighting.

“What is better? My wrist is still that stiff.”

“Compared to before, it is a huge improvement.”

“What is Jangjok? Do you think it makes sense to pierce a wyvern’s head and not be able to catch even a single monster that comes out of a D-class gate in one hit?”

Ojik and Chae Seoah bickered whenever they got the chance. It was ironic that they were the ones who worked best together when fighting.

“Hey, Jeongwoo. I’m doing well, so don’t worry too much… .”

Hehe. Ha-yeon Moon sneaks up next to her, letting out her signature dark smile. Reaching out and patting my head, it’s right, it’s right. Mutter with your mouth.

Receiving the familiar touch, I turned my head and looked at Yang Ji-hee. Normally, she would have been patting my head together, but she was staring blankly into the forest from a little distance away.

All day today. The timing of the treatment and buff was too late. There were quite a few instances where a buff suddenly came in while throwing a dagger and I missed, and treatment rarely came unless requested.

Because I felt like I could vaguely understand why she couldn’t concentrate. I kept my mouth shut.

but. Even if you’re like me, you’ll get nervous if someone you know is in that group. For example, Moon Ha-yeon or Chae Seo-ah… .

“Ugh… .”

“Why, why are you like this, Jeongwoo? Uh, where does it hurt?”

“No, I just feel a little… .”

As I blurted out nonsense, Oji looked at me with a somewhat cold gaze.

I ignored her gaze and tapped my tight chest with my fist. What can I do? There are often situations in the world that we don’t even want to imagine.

“Then, shall we dismantle that thing and move around some more?”

“That would be a good idea. Because I don’t think there are any more around here.”

I nodded, pulled out my dagger, and sat down in front of the monster.

Scrabble rustle. When I pushed the knife in, as I had learned during hunter training, the muscle and leather separated, making an eerie noise.

“True B. When he does it, how neatly does he tell him to do it?”

“Because experience is more important than money right now.”

“Still, how big is the money difference? Just make me do it… .”

Tsk. Ojeong licks his appetite as if he feels regretful.

I ignored the sound and played with my hands in silence.

“Ah. It’s so heavy.”

Ojiri, carrying a gunny sack, grumbles.

The plains are slowly turning orange as the sun sets. As we walked across it, each of us was carrying a sack or two.

Bones, teeth, leather, etc. There was a place for every single monster material. Did you say that the most useless parts are flesh and muscles?

As a people who make everything with kimchi, there were quite a few people who tried the strange food known as monster food, but the result was not Dungeon Bap, but Man VS Wild.

Some say they can’t eat it because of its unique smell.

so. What this means is that we are carrying away the corpses of the monsters we have caught so far, with only the flesh and organs removed.

Trudging along with a heavy, shaky sack. I could see why the bigger the clan, the more porters it needed.

“If it is heavy, please tell me, Mr. Park Jeong-woo.”

“It’s okay, it’s not that heavy.”

air lock. Because the bag I was carrying was the smallest. The fact that I was too embarrassed to complain also contributed to the rejection.

“Hehe, that’s great… .”

Yang Ji-hee’s not-so-spirited voice comes from behind. Like patting your butt like you normally would. Suddenly, without even taking out the candy. She just walked silently.

The shock you received earlier has not fully subsided. Just as I was going through the process of internal understanding, Ojiri, who was walking at the front, suddenly raised his hand.

“Wait a minute. I think there’s something under the shadow of the rock in front of me. It’s moving.”

I move my gaze along her outstretched fingers. Beyond the plains. It looked like something was frozen and writhing in the shadows of the rocks scattered here and there.

“I guess I can just grab that and go back today. It was late too.”

“Ugh, yes. I have to eat dinner soon… .”

The group walked towards the rock at a slightly slower pace.

As you get closer, the vague shape becomes clearer. but. Because that was something that really caught my eye. I looked again, rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand.

“Huh? that… .”

Chae Seo-ah’s hand flew up and covered my mouth.

Under the stone shadow. The people I saw at the entrance were all tangled up and confused.

The scene where eight people are intertwined and having sexual intercourse. I don’t know how the people involved felt, but from the side, it looked like a mess.

While sucking this cock, sucking that breast. Touch here, touch there. The way he moved only for physical pleasure was truly beast-like.

The person who stood out the most among them was, of course, the person who caught my eye at the gate.

Unlike other people who were wearing t-shirts or weapons. The man wasn’t wearing any clothes at all.

Rather than sticking here and there. Should I say that it feels like it’s being pulled here and there? But, what stands out the most is… .

“It was a man… ?”

Let me mutter softly. As if he had heard it. The muscular man slowly moved his body and went behind him.

He held the long twin tails like handles and held them there… .

I closed my eyes tightly.

“That’s what female corruption is like… .”

You can hear Moon Ha-yeon muttering softly. As before, it was a choice of words that raised doubts about what the ‘data’ she was normally looking at was.

“… I heard there is a separate favorite place. Maybe Mr. Ojik was right.”

“No, I don’t think he would normally feel that good… .”

“Let’s go.”

A stern voice is heard. It was Yang Ji-hee’s voice.

I slowly opened my eyes and looked at her expression. As before, her face was stiff. I could feel deep fatigue under my pursed lips and slightly darkened eyes.

“Because there don’t seem to be any monsters. Let’s just go.”

She speaks once again. I wonder if the other party members felt the same sense of intimidation that I don’t know whether I was feeling or not. Without saying anything, we turned towards the gate entrance.

The way back. The expressions of the companions were calmer than expected. Even from afar. You can’t even imagine the expression on the face of someone who has just seen something that looks like something from a hardcore AV movie called an 8-person orgy.

I quietly approached Chae Seo-ah and asked.

“Is this a common occurrence? ?”

“It’s not common, but… . Because you can’t enter the gate unless you’re a hunter. There are people who often visit this place when they use it as a place for extramarital affairs or do things they don’t want others to see.”

“Ah… .”

“Are you interested?”

she asks, playing with her thighs with white-gloved hands. I was scared and shook my head.

“No way!”

“Well, I did… ?”

Ha-yeon Moon, who was quietly listening next to her, spoke in a slightly downcast voice.

no. I was the one who was harassed, so why are you so upset?

“Of course. Anyway, it’s not inside the gate. You never know when and where a monster might pop out. So defenseless… .”

The longer I spoke, the more I felt like my back was getting itchy.

I slowly turned my head and looked at Ojik. With narrowed black eyes. Talk with one corner of your mouth twisted as if you are laughing.

“Hey, it’s a boomerang. It’s a boomerang.”

“Boomerang? What do you mean by that?”

“No, whatever. Just~. Speaking of defenseless, something comes to mind.”

I don’t know why everyone is looking at me. I deliberately took big steps. Speak in a slightly raised voice, expressing resentment.

“But I never did it because I wanted to… .”

I spoke and then closed my mouth again. Ojeong’s gaze was extremely stinging.

“What did you say? Can’t I go alone?”

I kept my mouth shut and chose defensive silence. also. Silence was golden.

“… Ah.”

He made a small sound like someone who realized something. suddenness. Chae Seo-ah stood tall.

“Why are you doing that?”

“No, I mean… .”

Gradually. Chae Seo-ah’s expressionless face slightly distorts. Squint your eyes and twitch the bridge of your nose.

Her eyes, clearly revealing her complicated feelings, were directed at Yang Ji-hee, who was walking ahead of her without saying a word.

“Umm… .”

A voice that seems to be thinking continues. Chae Seo-ah, who was playing with the corners of her mouth, lets out a short sigh. Chae Seo-ah, who was still looking at her, had an incongruous emotion in her eyes.

“Why… ?”

“Ah, just… A stone was stepped on. Let’s go.”

I glanced at her shoes. The thick shoes looked like they would have no problem even if they stepped on a needle, let alone a stone.

As I followed the clan members trudging away in silence again, I recalled the emotions that appeared in Chae Seo-ah’s eyes.

She obviously is. There was an air of sympathy.
